Using Puppet at MFPL

We've borrowed and written a collection of puppet configuration files (aka manifests) that define how all of our servers should be configured.

These configuration files are kept in our ​git repository. Through a cron job, each server updates to the most recent git tag and then launches puppet, which reads the configuration files, develops a catalog of all instructions intended for the server on which it is running, and then it executes that catalog, applying all the directions.

checking out the code

Anyone can checkout our puppet files read-only. Members of the support team can checkout read/write copies. Checking out the code is the first step to familiarizing yourself with our puppet setup.
